5,000 guests joint the Talent Show of MISS SUPRANATIONAL in the Polish resort of Ciechocinek and remained silent listening to the enchaining a capella performance of Estelle Essame from Cameroon. But it was the powerful Scottish contestant Emma Logan Blythe who in her easy-going attitude convinced the audience with a dynamic song and a professional gig. She is 23 years of age and an event manager studying sports development.
Crowds of guests and reporters swarmed on 28 June 2010 into Warsaw's in restaurant "You & Me" entering the amusing press conference of the Festival of Beauty.

Mr Carsten Mohr, holder of the German MISS SUPRANATIONAL license, met Ms Kirsis Celestino, the 2009 finalist from the Dominican Republic, in Wuppertal. The 21 year old Caribbean beauty lives since last year in Germany attending the famous Goethe Institute in Düsseldorf. In the Rhineland, Carsten has been for many years in politics. "I am open now for a barter deal and to go to Santa Domingo instead of you", he offered with a smile. But Kirsis will fight her homesickness by busily studying German at Berlitz language school and visiting her family in December.
Mr Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski, MISS SUPRANATIONAL's Polish festival host, met last year's Miss Elegance Ms Josephine Helbrandt, after a meeting with sponsors in the Danish capital of Copenhagen.

Mr von Lipinski and Mr Peter Jorgensen, General Distributor of GOSH cosmetics in Eastern Europe, wished good luck with her contest and success with her final school exams next year.
"With last year's fantastic TV gala we let all competitors behind", deemed Marc Russell, WORLD BEAUTY ASSOCIATION's Chief Operating Officer: "This has caused an overwhelming demand from potential National Directors all over the world."
'Pageant of all pageants' - with regard to a phrase published by Bernice Catterall, the National Director for UK and Ireland, Mr Russell acted amused:"Nice compliment. It's yet to early for those great words. But perhaps it will become a committment. We will try harder already in 2010!"
By now WBA has invited 120 countries to decide in due time on the selection of licensees. All agreements shall be signed in February latest. The board fixed the number of candidates to 70. This should quarantee enough time for each candidate in the telecast.
Interested licensees may still apply under info@misssupranational.com Of particular importance is a track record in organizing pageants and the opportunity to increase TV coverage.
"To outsource the launch of a new global brand in the pageant industry has been highly successful", Mrs Tryny Yandar Lobón declared during WORLD BEAUTY ASSOCIATION's general meeting in Panama City's Hotel Bristol on 25 November 2009.
The aim of the project initiators to create an international beauty contest committed to worldwide welfare, political correctness, transparancy in decision making and certainty in distributing the earmarked prize monies came true. "This mission is a mission possible - we can not thank you enough, Gerhard", Mrs President added with applause. Mr Gerhard Parzutka von Lipiński, President of the Miss Poland and Miss Poland Teen contests, who attended the meeting in the afternoon as a guest, will also be host and organizer of the MISS SUPRANATIONAL pageants in the coming four years.
The aim to find 45 to 60 National Directors in the first round came true. Due to the tight time left, budget restrictions in some countries or long-lasting visa procedures some of them decided to join WBA not before 2010. After the marvelous TV Premiere Gala and also because of the special coverage on Global Beauties, WBA recognizes since 5 September 2009 an extraordinary demand from potential National Directors worldwide. During his analysis of strenghts and weaknesses Mr Marc Russell, WBA's Chief Operating Officer, concluded: "Whereas the broadcasted show and the media production in Poland met our expectations and proved to be state-of-the-art, the non-coverage of Africa can not satisfy."
A ray of hope is, so Mr Russell, that under the up-to-now 78 interested countries for 2010 nine will come from the African continent. The former TQM professional pointed out that also Oceania will be likely no white spot on the Association's globe anymore. With regard to the contestants' programme measures will be taken to improve the service level in certain areas of local organization steadily, he promised.
In her final acknowledgment Mrs Yandar counted her blessings for the National Directors of 2009 and their rapid action in delegating their candidates. Candidates of whom she heard that they formed a unique and wonderful class of 2009. "May their gained friendships and memories last for a lifetime", WBA's President closed.

Before the media event started, also Miss Supranational 2009 and the first two runner-ups received their awards.
